Tent thread

I wrote to Mike Weatherley when all this kicked off - the only reply I've had so far is asking me for my address to see whether I'm a constituent of his. I'm not, but given that I'm not asking him to campaign on my behalf, just asking him to consider all the facts of the case, I don't see that I'm not entitled to a proper reply.

Very poor, IMO.

How do we think their Early Day Motion will go today?

I like that this one has gained so many signatures in such a short space of time. Will be interesting to see which does more.

I've not seen theirs on the site yet but I am sure it will be there soon.

Not sure what was wrong with the link but they banned people from not attending lol

There was 15 then they removed people so it dropped to 3.

I liked this quote from a contributor to Tessa's blog (with my emphasis in bold);

"Also in a recession it’s recognised that homeowners can fall behind with mortgage payments yet all that’s possible is done to keep them in their homes. There’s even a Private Member’s Bill from George Eustice, MP for Camborne and Redruth to “rebalance the law, making it harder for banks to enforce their security and throw people out of their homes.” Contrast that to the press reaction in the Suzy Butler case and the support she claims to have from Mike Weatherley, MP for Hove and Portslade for her wanting to rebalance the law to speed up the eviction process for tenants. One could be forgiven for thinking tenants don’t qualify as people these days."

Looks like the media still haven't cottoned on, on facebook:

"An end to squatters rights what about homeowners rights? Great meeting at Parliament today watch out for the story on BBC South Today at 6.3Opm tonight and clip online tomorrow also feature on BBC 5 live and BBC Sussex"

Why are they giving her more air time?

Is anyone watching?

Blue22, I know you can't post links, but could you give us the name of the website? I believe you could write it like this:

Link removed by dopester. [No longer sure if I should have linked to her blog or not, after contemplating further discussion on the matter on the next page.]
